To be clear, I don't even care if the onion rings were par-fried from a bag, they were super fresh and really hit the spot as an appetizer. Had their signature burger with all the fixings, as well as lettuce and tomato, and it was phenomenal along with the pub fries that were hot & crispy. My girls both enjoyed the handmade chicken strips with their fries and we were all stuffed by the time we got ready to leave. Most cost effective place to eat around the lakes, but the quality & service was above & beyond! Will definitely be back and totally recommend. Thank you Dockside crew for an amazing experience!!

Traveling in Traverse City for the Fourth of July weekend. After a visit to Torch Lake, we'd seen…read morepositive reviews for The Dam Shop. It was busy but we got a seat inside. We ordered a variety of food and were willing to wait the estimated 45 minutes for a pizza. It's an odd arrangement. A food truck built into the building on the back and a pizza kitchen in the front. There's pagers for the food truck stuff and text messages for the pizza. I got the Elks Rapid Hot Nashville Chicken sandwich double dipped Tim's way. It was an oily mess with no flavor. And definitely no heat. There was also a burger and some tacos and chips and salsa. No one cared for the verde salsa, but my wife liked the tacos themselves. The pepperoni pizza finally came, probably a bit later than hoped for. It was also nothing to get excited about. No real flavor. Drinks mostly come from the refrigerators or the bar at the back which was very busy. Sadly, The Dam Shop wasn't damn good, indeed it wasn't great at all. 2.6 stars rounds to 3.

There are limited restaurant options closer to Interlochlen unless we drove through Traverse City. No reservations required. Super busy, but they get people in pretty quickly. Once seated, we started off with the smoked trout and artichoke dip. The dip was fantastic! We could have used more crackers, but we finished it! For my cocktail, I enjoyed an espresso martini. For dinner, my husband and I got the Friday trout special with mushroom risotto and broccoli. My mom got the two smoked meat platter with wings and ribs. To end the night, we shared a slice of coconut cream pie. Delicious! Definitely would stop by again if we were in the area.

Our waitress smiled warmly as we opted for beverage orders. Just as I'm ready to go with the Oregon Pinot Noir, my eye catches a "Black Manhattan" on the cocktail menu. Well they set the fishing hook right into my cheek. Obviously I had to roll the dice. Huge drink garnished with Italian maraschino cherries. Brilliant Concussion! Simply delish! Okay, now on to their small plate listings. I opted for a Seafood pasta, speckled with shrimp, clams & a mussel or two - genius. Linda selected their sliced filet mignon, which you could cut with your fork - perfect medium rare. Also her salad serving was cleaned up with great enthusiasm. Our dear dining friends loved their choices also. Oh I almost forgot, Taylor's French Onion soup was over the top. The room was very pleasant with soft tones and lower ceilings. Now far from me being a wall flower, I inquired about the Chef. Waited for perhaps 15 seconds and simply strolled into the back of the house (kitchen) & asked to met the Chef. Taylor appeared around the corner with the look on his face like "hell's bells this guy didn't like my cooking!". WRONG! Completely caught off guard as I expounded about his creativity and presentations. Love this little gem in Bellaire. Have missed the Rowe Inn & Tapawingo over the years, but the 26 minute drive is SO worth it. Call them for reservations as the staff is limited, but attentive. Hope to met Maggie next visit. Plan to dine again next week
